Woman struck, killed by NJ Transit train

MILLBURN, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Transit says a woman was struck and killed by a commuter train in northern New Jersey.

The accident occurred around 10 p.m. Saturday, just west of the Short Hills station in Millburn.

Authorities say it's not yet clear why 45-year-old Stephanie Alexander of Millburn was on the tracks.

Officials say the engineer sounded the Dover-bound train's horn and activated the emergency brakes, but could not stop it in time. None of the 325 passengers and crew aboard the train were injured in the accident, and they were placed on another train to complete their journey.
